For as much as we know ABC's upcoming 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' series won't feature 'The Avengers' themselves, it seems Marvel's mightiest superhero team will have a spiritual presence on TV after all. The first official trailer for Disney XD's 'Avengers Assemble' has made its way online, with more than a few shades of 'The Avengers' beyond the character design.

In one of the most public contract negotiations of the modern era, Robert Downey Jr. has let it be known that he finished his contractual obligations to Marvel and to playing Tony Stark and Iron Man. Which means his future involvement with both 'The Avengers' and 'Iron Man' will depend on how much Marvel is willing to pony up.

About a month ago, news broke that Marvel had big plans for Hulk, and that they might be sending him to outer space at the end of 'The Avengers 2' in anticipation of a 'Planet Hulk'-style movie. Alas, those rumors have been debunked today.

Marvel's Big Plans For Future 'Hulk' Movies…Revealed!

Jacob Hall — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 06:11:27 +0000

We knew that Marvel has longterm plans for their movie universe, but we didn't know they were this longterm. It turns out that they're not just thinking about 'Iron Man 3,' 'Thor: The Dark World,' 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier,' 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and the second 'Avengers' movie -- they're already thinking about a third 'Avengers' movie...and the major role The Hulk will play in the coming films. The following news will be nothing new to comic fans, but casual viewers should know that this is pretty major SPOILER territory.

Mike Sampson — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 18:13:02 +0000

Sure, 'The Avengers' was a great movie but there was only one female member (Black Widow) of the superhero team. There are already rumors that Joss Whedon wants to add Wasp to 'Avengers 2' but what if the entire 'Avengers' team was recast as women? Hey, if they can do an all-girl version of 'The Expendables' why not 'The Avengers?' And what if they cast Alison Brie, Sandra Bullock and Amber Heard? It might go a little something like this...

Is 'The Avengers 2′ Stealing a 'Captain America 2′ Villain for a Secret Role?

Eric Walkuski — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 15:00:17 +0000

As the world knows already, character actor Frank Grillo was recently cast as the villainous Crossbones in 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier.' These days, when you're lucky enough to find yourself in a Marvel movie, it seems as though you're gearing up not just for one flick, but for two or three. (Unless you're Hugo Weaving.) So does that indicate that Grillo's Crossbones will be making an appearance in a certain mega-gigantic-super-sequel that is scheduled for a May 1, 2015 release?

Pug Avengers to the Rescue!

Emerald Catron — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 17:02:32 +0000

This adorable video shows four pugs dressed up like the Avengers, or at least dressed up like the Avengers for as long as one can reasonably expect a pug to keep a costume on. If you have access to this many pugs and you aren't doing this with them, you're doing it wrong.

Nick Romano — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:22:57 +0000

All the non-comic book lovers were scratching their heads at the end of 'The Avengers' when an image of the Mad Titan Thanos popped up in a bonus scene after the credits.

And what about the upcoming 'Guardians of the Galaxy' movie? Will Thanos be in that too?

Disney announced this morning--with many digital high-fives--that 'The Avengers' has grossed $600 million domestically at the box office, making it the 3rd biggest movie of all time. That's going to be a hard act to follow--I've seen 'The Avengers' three times already this summer and it rocks!

I can't recall the last time I stayed up past my bedtime to catch a midnight viewing. My day starts early. Very early. My alarm goes off at about 4am. When I made plans to see The Avengers with my radio friend Nate Bird from KOOL 96.
